SuperLube lubricating aerosol for 3D printers

The SuperLube synthetic multi-purpose ultra adhesive industrial lubricant, enhanced with Syncolon® (PTFE), is an exceptional lubricant in aerosol format designed to provide comprehensive protection and performance. It is a heavy-duty spray lubricant that effectively reduces wear on any surfaces that slide, roll, or produce friction, making it an ideal solution for extending the lifespan of machinery and equipment. Furthermore, by penetrating deeply into mechanical components, it also protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring optimal performance and longevity in diverse operating conditions. 

Applications in 3D printing and beyond

SuperLube lubricant is ideal for 3D printer maintenance because it effectively lubricates critical components like bearings and rods, reducing wear and motor strain while maintaining print quality. The spray format is convenient for reaching tight areas and ensuring even distribution, making it easy to apply to moving parts without causing drips or affecting the printer's heated elements. This aerosol format is very easy to use: simply clean and dry the area to be treated, shake the can well, and use the convenient extension tube for precise application (reapply as needed). Other formats of this lubricant include pencil with applicator pad or tube with liquid lubricant.

Advanced properties

This lubricant is formulated to withstand extreme temperatures, operating efficiently in a range from -43 ºC to 232 ºC, making it suitable for both high and low-temperature environments. Its unique formulation prevents dripping, running, and evaporation, even when exposed to fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, it is resistant to both fresh and saltwater, offering reliable performance in marine and humid conditions. With a high dielectric strength, this lubricant also provides excellent electrical insulation, making it safe for use in applications where incidental electrical contact is possible.

Certificates

SuperLube spray lubricant is NSF registered and classified as an H1 food-grade lubricant, ensuring it is safe for incidental food contact, which is crucial in food processing and packaging industries. It meets former USDA guidelines (H1) and is both Kosher and Halal certified, accommodating a wide range of regulatory and cultural standards.
